Basement fabric controls rift nucleation and postrift basin inversion in the continental margin of NE Brazil

In passive continental margins, the brittle reactivation of shear zones and their role in the deformation and deposition of sedimentary basins are still a matter of debate. In this research, we investigated the role of the brittle reactivation of Precambrian shear zones in the nucleation of rift and...
